Sonakshi Giri and her app, RideRight, is the winner of the 2025 Congressional App Challenge for Wisconsin’s First Congressional District. RideRight estimates a user’s blood alcohol content (BAC) using factors such as age, sex, weight, alcohol type and amount, and time since consumption, then indicates whether it is safe to drive based on age- and location-specific laws, and advises how long to wait if it is unsafe. RideRight also includes a designated driver picker, a function that randomly draws a designated driver from a set of entered names.
